lttoolbox is a toolbox for lexical processing, morphological analysis and generation of words. The analysis is the process of splitting of words splitting a word (e.g. cats) into its lemma 'cat' and the grammatical information <n><pl>. The generation is the opposite process.
The package is split into three programs, lt-comp, the compiler, lt-proc, the processor, and lt-expand, which generates all possible mappings between surface forms and lexical forms in the dictionary.
Creation
- Main article: Monodix basics
Morphological analyser specification files, or morphological dictionaries may be found in all of our language pair packages, from the incubator, or you may elect to create your own (more instructions at the page Monodix basics).
Compilation
Compilation into the binary format is achieved by means of the lt-comp program. You can compile a given .dix from left-to-right (LR), or from right-to-left (RL). Compiling LR usually creates an analyser, compiling RL usually creates a generator.[1]
- Example
Compile the apertium-es-ca.ca.dix dictionary in a left-to-right manner into the binary ca.bin.
$ lt-comp lr apertium-es-ca.ca.dix ca.bin

Notes
- ↑ In all current linguistic packages, left to right is analysis, and right to left is generation. This is not however a software restriction.
